Army Rechristens JBLM-Based Brigade 3rd Stryker Brigade Renamed from Arrowhead to Ghost BY ADAM ASHTON The News Tribune

The 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division was rechristened with the identity of a command the Army inactivated in South Korea a year ago, the 1st Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. It’s a change driven by custom. The Army’s getting smaller, and when it shrinks, it chooses to retain the identities of its oldest units while closing younger ones. In this case, the name of a unit with a deep history at JBLM and in Iraq will be re-

placed by the name of a unit with an even deeper history of nearly 50 years in South Korea. It also changes the brigade’s symbols, moving from “Arrowheadâ€? to “Ghost.â€? “That is part of the history and tradition of our profession,â€? said Brig. Gen.

The 2015-16 school year kicked off last week with the district educating over 100 students more than last October.

Community Center to Open in October Yelm Accepts $485,000 Community Center Grant BY STEVEN WYBLE swyble@yelmonline.com

Steven Wyble / Nisqually Valley News

A construction crew works on the new community center Tuesday at Yelm City Park. The community center is expected to be completed in October.

BY STEVEN WYBLE swyble@yelmonline.com

The new community center at Yelm City Park will be open soon — it’s just taking slightly longer than expected. The community center, initially slated for an early September opening, is now expected to open in October, Yelm Mayor Ron Harding said. The tentative date is Oct. 24, although that could change slightly, he said. The delay isn’t unusual, DV FRPSOHWLRQ GDWHV WHQG WR à XFtuate as details of the project get changed during the construction process.

The members of the city council toured the construction site last Wednesday, and Harding said it allowed them to see the size of the VSDFH LQVLGH ZKLFK FDQ EH GLIĂ€FXOW to see from the outside. Currently, the city council and the park advisory board are working on writing policies for renting the center out, Harding said, so it was also good for them to see the space to help them visualize it during that process. Though the building should be completed by October, the city is hoping to have a soft opening in November, allowing enough time to ensure everything is functioning, Harding said. Exact plans are

The Yelm City Council accepted a $485,000 grant from the state Department of Commerce for the city’s new community center at Yelm City Park. The city requested $1.5 million for the project last year, but received only $1 million, leaving a $500,000 shortfall. The city received this almost $500,000 in the state’s 2015-17 capital budget. The city will receive $485,000, as the Department of Commerce retains 3 percent — $15,000 — to cover its direct administrative costs, according to a staff report from Noah &URFNHU WKH FLW\¡V Ă€QDQFH GLrector. community; not just as a gathering place, but a place to draw people into the community,â€? he said. The city twice put a bond to voters in 2013 seeking $5.7 million to overhaul Yelm City Park. After those measures failed, the city council voted to move ahead with construction of a community center using funds the city had already secured. To save costs, the city had the community center redesigned to stay under 5,000 square feet. But the look and feel of the facility is similar to the original design,

In October 2014, the Yelm City Council unanimously approved a $1.87 million contract with Stetz Construction to construct the community center. The city twice put a bond to voters in 2013 seeking $5.7 million to overhaul Yelm City Park. After those measures failed, the city council voted to move ahead with construction of a community center using funds the city had already secured. The new community center will be 4,950 square feet, and is located at 301 Second St. SE. It will include a 3,300-squarefoot multipurpose space to accommodate events with up to 250 people, a commercial kitchen, 23 parking stalls and exterior restrooms to serve park users. Harding said. The community center is one of several projects the city has been able to check off its list as completed, Harding said. “We continue to do that. We continue to have those successes with a minimum impact to the community,� he said. The new community center will include a 3,300-square-foot multipurpose space to accommodate events with up to 250 people, a commercial kitchen, 23 parking stalls and exterior restrooms to serve park users.

Counties and cities in Washington are required to have sixyear capital facilities, and are required to update their plans annually. The plan describes capital projects necessary to support the county’s expected population JURZWK DQG WKH Ă€QDQFLQJ XVHG WR accomplish them. “Capital projects are the durable, typically very expensive, facilities and equipment necessary to support County operations and services to the public,â€? the plan states. “These generally include but are not limited to such facilities as roads, bridges, sewers, parks, open space, water supply and conveyance systems, stormwater management systems, waste and wastewater disposal and treatment systems, and government buildings.â€? The plan is part of the county’s comprehensive plan, which is required by the state Growth Management Act. The county’s comprehensive plan projects that by the year 2035, the Thurston County population will grow to 378,000, an increase of 120,000 — 46.5 percent — from the 2013 population of 258,000. Within the next six years, the population is expected to grow by almost 14 percent. The Board of County Com-

missioners adopted impact fees in December 2012 to help pay for transportation, parks and some school districts. The updated capital facilities plan indicates which transportation and parks projects will be funded by the fees. The plan notes that it is a planning document and not a budget for expenditures, or guarantee projects will be implemented. “It assumes receipt of outside grant resources, and if grants are not received, projects may be delayed or removed,â€? it states. “Each capital project listed in the ‌ (plan) will need to go through a separate environmental review and approval process.â€? One area the plan’s supplement touches on is the need for updating the current county courthouse complex. “The County moved into its current Courthouse in 1978,â€? the supplement states. “Although several portions of the current space are overcrowded, reductions in staff and service levels in the Great Recession prompted organization and space consolidations and eased some immediate needs for additional space.

BIZ BRIEF

Yelm Business Association Reschedules Art Show The Yelm Business Association is rescheduling the art show planned for this weekend. Because of the city’s initial determination that each artist participating in the art show be required to have a business license, many artists declined to participate. The business license requirement for each of the artists was a major impediment to recruitment according to YBA spokesperson, Steve Craig. By the time WKHUH ZDV D FODULĂ€FDWLRQ DQG D business license determined to be a requirement for the event sponsor only, weeks had passed. This, combined with the increasing likelihoods of fall rains, led to the prudent decision to cancel and reschedule for a winter indoor art show. It will be announced soon when and where the winter indoor art show will take place.

The rock pile is growing taller, the growing space is growing wider, and Mankamyer is looking forward to planting more crops. Mann is pondering how to put the rocks to good use. While he is the engineer and inventor of the family, Mankamyer is all about the garden and said she would rather just pull weeds and spend time with the plants than do pretty much anything else. When people ask why her vegetables seem better than others, she said she always tells them it’s because of her love for gardening. The couple doesn’t grow everything they eat. Since they specialize in what pays the most for their time, they buy vegetables they don’t grow from other farmers. At the farmers market, regular customer Neil Kaber said Mari’s greens are a good value because they last a long time in the refrigerator. The secret to that, said Mankamyer, is getting them very dry after they’ve been washed. She uses a large spinner to remove WKH H[FHVV ZDWHU EHIRUH VKH EDJV up her greens.

OUR VIEWS

Should Justices Recuse Themselves From Donor Cases? A proposed initiative by Republican lawmaker Rep. Matt Manweller, of Ellensburg, would require state Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves from cases involving donors. The proposal comes after the court ruled public funding for charter schools is unconstitutional. “Under the proposed measure, a justice would be required to step down from hearing a case if his or her campaign received a donation of $1,000 or more within the past six years from any person or entity that is part of the case,� according to The Associated Press. Several of the justices had received large donations from the teachers union, which is staunchly opposed to state funding for private institutions. The proposal might turn out to be more of a political statement than a legitimate pursuit of change, but even if that’s the case, it’s worth considering the loyalties of the current court. The justices stretched back to the early history of the state to find wording that would jive with their findings against the

voter-approved charter school initiative. Even traditionally liberal editorial boards have questioned the decision. Citizens shouldn’t have to question whether the court’s determinations are motivated by political donors. Manweller’s proposal would eliminate that idea from the discussion. The court has taken a strong-arm approach to public education already, electing to fine state government $100,000 per day until lawmakers find an agreeable and effective solution to meeting the terms of the landmark McCleary decision. The debate over charter schools is mostly separate, but taken together the matter brings political donations for judges into focus. At a local level, municipal and superior court judges often recuse themselves from cases in which they are familiar with individuals involved. Supreme Court justices shouldn’t be held to a lower standard when it comes to identifying who is putting money in their campaign coffers. If the initiative is indeed filed, then

the people of Washington will decide whether to approve it. Will the court then rule that initiative unconstitutional? State Rep. Richard DeBolt, R-Chehalis, filed legislation last

year calling for state Supreme Court justices to be identified by political party. That proposal was deemed largely symbolic, and failed to gain traction in the Legislature.

Perhaps it’s time to approach the concept once more. While partisan judges pose a number of issues, continuing to pretend they have no affiliations is proving challenging.

It has to do with the Ice Chips grannies expanding and moving their operations out of town because the city wouldn’t allow them to grow here in Yelm. The truth is Ice Chips was never located inside city limits, but in the county. They did ask if there was any space available already built in the area, was told there were no existing structures they were seeking, and that was the extent of their dealings with the city. The fact is they needed a warehouse right away, and none existed in Yelm. This had nothing to

do with city services or an anti-business climate in the city administration.

Tesla’s Premium Electric car and the Mining Business IN THE BIZ By Don Brunell

Tesla is the premium entry in the electric car market, with a starting price of $75,000. According to the Wall Street Journal, the high-end “Signatureâ€? model costs $132,000, slightly more than the base price for Porsche’s AG’s 911 GT3. Even with a $7,500 federal tax credit, an assortment of state tax credits and LQ IXHO VDYLQJ RYHU Ă€YH \HDUV the driver’s investment is over $110,000 — far beyond the reach of the average family. However, Tesla’s luxury styling and impressive performance give high-end buyers the best of both worlds — luxury transportation and the satisfaction of environmental stewardship. In that light, it might surprise some that Tesla’s success depends in large part on lithium mining.

Right now fossil fuel power plants or hydropower dominate the electric power grids in the west. The point is it is important that new technologies be developed. It also is important to remember that electric car makers are subject to the same economic and environmental challenges as other manufacturers: production costs, availability of supplies, affordable energy and abundant water.

The Mashel River is the largest tributary to the Nisqually River, and the salmon recovery plan for the area calls out these sections of the Mashel River as the highest priority for protection. The river is used by Chinook salmon and steelhead trout, both of which are listed as threatened with extinction under the federal Endangered Species Act. The land has steep, unstable slopes and is part of a larger in-

dustrial forest. Buying the land would prevent further habitat degradation from logging and development and would buffer protected habitat for northern spotted owls and marbled murrelets, both of which also are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The purchase would help recreation by providing room for expansion of the Mashel Greenbelt Trail and by protecting a key section of the popular Mount Tahoma Trails cross-country ski trail. The Legislature created the Washington Wildlife and Recre-

ation Program in 1990 to conserve land before it was developed, and provide more places for outdoor recreation. The Legislature recognized that the state’s growing population would need more places for outdoor recreation and wildlife, and it would be more economical to buy the land early. Today, the program is the largest state funding source for development of local parks and trails and the conservation of working farms and ranches. The competition for grant funding is high, with projects rated by citizens and profession-

als on many factors, according to the press release, such as threats to the habitat, project support, public access opportunities and ongoing stewardship of the land. “Only the best of the best projects get funded,� Cottingham said. “The Nisqually Land Trust has consistently brought forth outstanding projects. The land trust has been awarded 30 grants since 1997, totaling nearly $8 million, all for salmon recovery work.� Cottingham presented the award Sunday to the land trust at its annual volunteer recognition meeting in Olympia.

It’s coming true.â€? 7KH VKRUW WHUP Ă€[ RI EXVLQJ some Southworth students to Mill Pond has been maximized as Mill Pond is full this year. Because all elementary schools are tight for space, having already lost technology rooms and some libraries as they are turned into classrooms, redistricting will not help to alleviate the issue. Wolf said the district is looking to add three more double classroom portables to the more than 70 it already has — one each at Southworth, Mill Pond and Fort Stevens. However, due to changes to the permitting process, environmental issues, the amount

of space remaining on campuses and water and sewer connections, this process is now more complicated and takes longer. “It’s tricky to put portables in anymore,� Wolf said. Also, more classroom space means more students, who add stress to the original school. “The infrastructure of the building — lunchrooms, libraries, bathrooms, playgrounds, parking — they’re not designed for that,� Wolf said. “We can put portables out there, but it doesn’t help us as far as relieving the crowding of the buildings.� The district is also continuing to look into another bond proposal. “What is the tipping point?� Wolf asked. “When you have a

school, for example like SouthZRUWK WKDW ZDV EXLOW IRU VWXdents and you’re pushing 600, at what point in time does the actual infrastructure of the building have to change to be able to handle the capacity?� As a public education system, YCS cannot turn away students. “We can tell a student that they can’t go to school X if it’s full, that they have to go to school Y, but what if X, Y and Z were all full?� Wolf asked. “I don’t know how that works.� What the district has done is limit the number of students living outside of the district who request to be educated in Yelm. “We’ve managed the growth really well, I think, but we’re at a point now where our strategies

are becoming more limited,â€? Wolf said.

Veggies: tomatoes, squash, corn and eggplant By Marianne Binetti

end rot, a tomato disease that strikes when the soil is lacking in calcium or when watering is inconsistent. Growing tomatoes in the same spot will suck the calcium right out of the soil, so be sure to amend your soil this fall with lime or another form of calcium. Blame the hot weather for many cases of blossom end rot this summer as the sun dried the soil quickly in early summer before many gardeners had established the habit of daily watering. Tomatoes like soil that is consistently moist or they will adapt to somewhat dry soil, but do not like dry soil followed by lots of water. Next year, use mulch on top of the soil to seal in moisture and prevent inconsistent watering.

It is harvest time in the vegetable garden, so keep picking ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and summer squash. Share fresh produce with your local food bank if you’re lucky enough to have a bumper crop.

back then. There was a war going on. There were only six teachers and a couple of hundred kids to teach. All of us had a lot of classes, and if any of us needed help or inspiration or an example, we had Frank Bower to look to. “It was Frank who got me started off right in that general science class. He taught me how to set up those experiments, and how to prepare slides for the microscope. He lent me his rock collection and his biological displays. Frank was not only the principal — he had no secretary — he was also coach, football, basketball and baseball, and he taught all the math classes, and the science classes — chemistry and physics — with the exception of the general science class I was teaching. “And that wasn’t all! I was never more surprised in my life than on that Saturday morning when he roused me out of bed and asked if I would like to help get WKH Ă€HOG UHDG\ IRU QH[W )ULGD\¡V game. ‘Good Lord!’ I thought. ‘Saturday, too?’ But I went.

The Budget The minutes of school board meetings during the 1940s provide an insight into the workings of schools and the issues before them. The following are excerpts from those minutes.

Andy Walls, Executive Officer of the Servicemember and Family Assistance Center at Joint Base Lewis-McChord Monday morning. They were tears of gratitude and sentiment for the service members who are wounded and preparing to return to active duty or transition out of military service. They, along with the Yelm Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5580 and the Yelm United Methodist Church, presented combined funds raised through car shows and silent auctions in August and September for the Warrior Transition Battalion, or WTB. An eleventh-hour check for $110 brought the overall total to $10,000. Jim Bob’s Chuckwagon BBQ in McKenna supplied $6,600. VFW Post 5580 Commander Terry Ray did the honors of handing over $3,400 earned by the VFW and Meth-

odist church from the proceeds of their recent car show in Yelm City Park. “The money totally stays at JBLM for the people here who need it,� Cheryl Slopak said. Also on hand for presentation of the money were Yelm’s District 3 Commander of the VFW Jerry Fugich and VFW Judge Advocate Col. John Thomson, State Commander Glenn Albert and his wife Judy from Spokane, VFW Department Chairman and Surgeon John Rust, from Port Orchard, District 3 VFW Auxiliary President Eileen McKee, of Puyallup, SFAC Outreach Coordinator Jinnea Blakey, SFACE volunteer Staff Sgt. Mike Rainier, SFAC events coordinator and VFW member Corky Berthiaume, and SFAC Director Jacqueline Seabrook. Walls accepted the gifts saying to the Slopaks, “We’re always humbled by the support.� To the VFW members Walls continued, “And we are grateful for your continued service in this capacity.� Seabrook said when SFAC receives a gift such as this, it is used for the most immediate need. Most likely the money will be used to send a group of service members and their families to a places where they can get away for some family time. The SFAC provides computer access, classes and other ser-

vices to families and soldiers. In a large classroom connected to the reception area, SFAC Education Counselor Jane Kessler was showing Sgt. Lee Duke, Master Sgt. Rosie McNair, and PFC Chrisandra Graham the ins and outs of tuition assistance and their post service education options. McNair, already a nurse, said she will continue in nursing once discharged. WTB is a military unit just like any other, said Thomson, who has used the facility himself. It has a normal command structure, but WTB also has nursing staff, occupation and physical therapists, and social workers to work with the wounded service members for their next phase of service or exit to civilian life. Other WTBs in the country are closing and JBLM will be receiving more people. At one point, the facility held more than 600 service members. With the recent draw down, the numbers are lower now, Blakey said. SFAC, in addition to referral and other services based on their needs, also accepts donations of goods and services for wounded service members such as dinners, tickets to events and getaways. Once Blakey puts the prospective donor through a vetting process, a staff member connects the gift to the recipient.

Soldier Who Disappeared During Parachute Exercise Found Dead SHELTON (AP) — The Army says a soldier who vanished during a parachute training operation in Washington state has been found dead after a 10-hour search. Maj. Timothy C. Chavis, a 1st Special Forces Group spokesman, says a local rescue team helping in the search discovered the soldier’s body around 10 p.m. last Friday in a heavily

wooded area of Mason County. He says the soldier was part of the special forces unit based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord who jumped from a plane at noon with other service members. Chavis says he believes the training was a common exercise but that he can’t release other information until the end of an investigation.

Youth in Thurston County will join hundreds of thousands of youth across the world in leading the eighth annual 4-H National Youth Science Day (4-H NYSD) experiment. This year’s experiment, called “Motion Commotion,â€? will combine a speeding car collision and a distracted driving demonstration in a simulated activity that investigates the physical and human factors of motion. Thurston County youth will conduct the two-part “Motion Commotionâ€? experiment 6:30 p.m. Oct. 7 at Southworth Elementary School, where they will use everyday materials — including a toy car, modeling clay, ruler, calculator and cell phone — to explore physics in the realZRUOG ,Q WKH Ă€UVW SKDVH \RXWK will construct a simulated runway to analyze the speed, momentum and kinetic energy of a car in motion, and will explore the science behind the car’s collisions. In the second phase, they will lead an experiment that uses the same physics principles to demonstrate the consequences of distracted driving. 4-H NYSD is the world’s largest, youth-led science experiment. The national rallying event for 4-H Science, 4-H NYSD is an interactive learning experience that gets youth excited about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and spotlights the many ways Thurston County youth are engaging in 4-H Science programs year-round. “I’m really looking forward to this year’s experiment. I hope it will show these kids that distracted driving could have serious consequences,â€? said Steven Yabsley, Thurston County 4-H STEM Club Leader.

Yelm, Rainier Football Teams Have Tough, Important League Games BY TYLER HUEY thuey@yelmonline.com

ith two league games slated for 7 p.m. Friday, the Tornados and Mountaineers are planning to showcase how much both football teams have improved. Yelm (2-0, 0-0) hosts its 4A Narrows League opener against Timberline (0-2, 0-0), while Rainier (2-0, 1-0 PaFLÀF % SOD\V DW 5D\PRQG 7KHVH JDPHV ZLOO not make or break a team’s season, but the results may provide a glimpse into how much success each local program will have this fall. Jason Ronquillo and Terry Shaw, the respective Yelm and Rainier head coaches, believe their squads are primed to make a statement. Despite two lopsided losses last year to the same opponents in Week 3, both third-year coaches said they’re good enough to win.

Yelm Tornados The biggest challenges are still to come for Yelm, such as Olympia (2-0, 0-0) and Gig Harbor (2-0, 0-0). But the Blazers provide a stern test in the form of a hungry opponent that got thumped last week by powerhouse Tumwater (2-0, 0-0 2A Evergreen) 48-10, and lost 38-32 to North Thurston (1-1, 0-0 3A Narrows) prior. Ronquillo thinks last year’s 24-point defeat to Timberline LV WUXO\ D WKLQJ RI WKH SDVW $QG EDVHG RII KLV ER\V¡ Ă€UVW WZR victories, perhaps he’s right. So far Yelm has defeated Steilacoom 44-14 and shellacked Foss 41-8. Those margin of victories are similar to last season; what’s different is how Yelm is scoring. While junior running back Brandon Thompson is a focal point, the Tornados are no longer solely dependent on the ground game.

Senior quarterback Daylon Matthews honed his skills in the offseason, and his hard work is paying off. Matthews completed 17 of 32 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns at Steilacoom, then was 10 of 14 for 159 yards with three touchdown passes and scored on an 8-yard run against Foss. Junior wide receiver Kaleb /XQGHUYLOOH ODVW ZHHN KDG Ă€YH UHFHSWLRQV Head Coach for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and Jason senior wide receiver Jacob Nolan scored Ronquillo by catching an 8-yard fade pass. Thompson has also played a big role in each win, just hasn’t had to carry the entire load. Thompson rushed for 52 yards on eight carries and returned a 55-yard punt for a touchdown. The prior week at Steilacoom, Thompson rushed for 111 yards on 19 carries, plus had 122 receiving yards on four catches with one touchdown. In addition, Ronquillo described the defense as “stellar,â€? noting that senior DeVante Pearson returned a defensive fumble for a touchdown in the third quarter. “The guys are playing at a pretty high level. We’re not playing at our best, but we are playing at a the highest level since I’ve been here,â€? Ronquillo said. “I’m really happy with the progress the kids have made, and if we continue

We’re faster, more athletic. We’re going to follow the game plan as much as we can and try to put our kids in a position to be successful, and it’s their job to execute once Friday night rolls around.� The game plan going into last year’s Timberline contest

FRIDAY: Continued from page C1 involved a passing game that was not established. Yelm ran a lot of options, and Pearson was the quarterback at that time. Thompson played well, but it was easier to contain him since there wasn’t a passing threat. “I think some of the holes they have are in their secondary,â€? Ronquillo said of the Blazers. “Being able to know that we can attack them in all areas of the Ă€HOG LV ELJ ,W¡V KXJH NQRZLQJ ZH can do that.â€? Despite approaching 290 yards passing in Week 1, Foss often put eight in the box to stop the run and played man coverage on the outside, which “proved to be deadly for them because it allowed us to run off a lot of points in the second quarter and put them in a big bind.â€? “They thought that they could run with our guys man-to-man and some of our players just out competed them for the ball in the air and it happened to work in our favor,â€? Ronquillo said. “So it kind of threw me for a loop to think that they’d just put everybody in the box to try to stop our run game when it was clearly noted in that game prior that we could acWXDOO\ WKURZ WKH EDOO GRZQ Ă€HOG Âľ Ronquillo is happy with the progress Matthews and his receivers have made. Being able to run or pass keeps opposing defenses off-balance, which makes Yelm unpredictable and harder to stop. Team morale has often been high after Week 2. However, with a legitimate passing game and an improved defense, the team morale has even more reasons to be high. Everyone is having fun, which makes winning that much sweeter. “The work that you put in, it makes it harder to give up. The kids have really worked hard in the offseason,â€? Ronquillo said. “The time that they put in during the spring and summer, it makes everything worthwhile in competing. “They’ve worked hard to be in the position that they’re in. ‌ There’s no exception to hard work,â€? he continued. “There’s no way to get there and the kids that have stuck it out, it’s starting to show what can come of it.â€?

eers defeated South Bend 58-20 and overwhelmed Kittitas 34-6 last week. Those results are similar to 2014 but are even more impressive, Shaw said. “Both the teams that we beat were better than they were last year when we beat them, and we kind of came out with the same score,â€? he said. “I think that’s just a result of being that much better too. I feel good going into our biggest game of the season right now.â€? Raymond will be a strong test, having shutout Rainier a year ago. The Mounties are ready for the challenge, having the league’s reigning MVP, senior quarterback McKoy Bichler, at their disposal. “I think he’s been playing really well,â€? Shaw said of Bichler. “He’s distributing the ball like he’s supposed to and he’s keeping the ball when he’s supposed to. ‌ We feel like we’re getting pretty good quarterback play from him.â€? Sophomore fullback Ian Russell is another reason for optimism. Shaw said he’s doing exactly what’s expected, which is “run the play, rumble for a few more yards and sometimes ‌ he’ll get 20 or 30 extra yards. He’s a load to bring down,â€? Shaw said.

“It’s just how we play now, which is really encouraging to see,â€? he said. “That’s how Raymond plays. They’re very tough, they’re very physical, they tackle well. There’s going to be a lot of sore bodies on both sides of the ball on Saturday morning.â€? One thing that makes Rainier more prepared for the rematch is how much improved the defense was from Week 1 to Week 2. Shaw said Kittitas is not a bad team, but even though the Coyotes (1-1, 0-0 Central Washington B) threw many passes, they could still only muster six points. Offense is another upside. The players understand the system more, which is imperative for the triple option. Shaw said the only way to improve on offense is through repetition on game day. “Kittitas came in with the defense we thought we were going to see, which is a 4-3, and WKHQ DIWHU WKH Ă€UVW WZR VHULHV they jumped into a 4-4, which we’ve seen before but is not what we’ve practiced all week,â€? Shaw said. “It didn’t affect our kids at all. They knew how to react, they knew what to do and just kept playing football. The biggest thing is understanding the scheme and constantly playing fast and playing hard.â€? One of the main keys for Friday’s game is ball security. Rainier trailed 28-0 at halftime last year due to committing four turnovers, Shaw said. Another

they have the same team as last year,� Shaw said. “All things considered, I think we’re fairly matched in all honesty. We played them in camp and we kind of walked away feeling that like, ‘Hey, you know, we can match up with these guys in a game.’� Shaw is not predicting a win. However, he believes Rainier is capable of doing so, and regardless of the outcome, the Mountaineers will be better off playing good competition. “Take it back to where this program has been, the recesses of the bottom of the basement three years ago, to where we’re at now, it’s certainly more important to a program like us then it would be to Raymond who’s used to winning all the time,� he said.

HUEY:

too deeply into losses, or worded sentences that can be taken the wrong way. Another wake-up call came via the Nisqually Valley News’ Facebook page. I was described as a “pretentious sports writer slamming local kids,� to which another person agreed saying, in part, “Articles he writes degrade local athletes and have personally affected my children as a result of those negative remarks.� Multiple “Likes� were also given for each comment. Ouch. In all my years here I’ve never been critiqued so harshly. A couple weeks ago I wrote an opinion piece about the Yelm and Rainier football teams after both had won convincingly in Week 1. I said I hope I’m wrong, but had doubts on whether the programs would reach the postseason and state tournament, respectively. In no way was I trying to anger anyone, but in hindsight I can see how those words could be hurtful. I was once a high school athlete, so I understand the countless hours and preparation these young men and women put in every day. What’s important isn’t always how many awards a player or team wins; rather, it’s the stories that have led them to where they are and where they hope to go. Just because I never meant to upset anyone in a previous article is irrelevant. That happened, I’m sorry, and it’s best to own up to an unintended wrong instead of hiding behind a keyboard. The readers of this newspaper deserve better than that.

Continued from page C1 maybe it shouldn’t have. My wife has told me many times that I’m blunt, which can come off as rude even though that’s not intended. I quoted Baker saying similar things I referenced in the article, as well as seemingly talked up several of the kids, but did I focus too much on the negative? It’s a line that I crossed for some. These athletes are teenagers, not collegiate or professionals, so I never intend to hurt anyone’s feelings. Being factual even if it’s not on the positive side is OK, but maybe there have been times I unknowingly delved

matter of importance is sticking to the plan and believing in themselves. “The thing about it is it’s not random people from Rainier just going into Raymond playing a football game. This is a Rainier football team, which is made up of our guys and our coaches,� Shaw said. “We’re a unit and we believe we can do this. We believe we can beat this team.� He went on to say that Rainier can be better than Raymond for a number of reasons, such as returning most of last year’s roster and having a successful offseason. “Our kids are bigger and stronger than last year.

Anglers Caught the Most Fish at Buoy 10; Hunting Season Is Picking Up the Pace BY JORDAN NAILON Nisqually Valley News Correspondent

Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 14 of this year a total of 562,383 fall Chinook successfully navigated beyond the Bonneville Dam barrier. That number is the second largest since 1938.

The coho bite was down across the board outside of the Buoy 10 area.

During the past digging season (fall/winter 2014, winter/ spring 2015) Washington diggers bucketed 5.7 million razor clams for an average of 14.4 clams per person, per day. That average is just a tick shy of the 15-clam daily limit. Clam populations are expected to be slightly lower than last year but they will still be above the long-term average population. According to Ayres, a bestcase scenario for the opening of razor clam season is mid-to-late October. In Puget Sound, where domoic acid has made a few cameo appearances, marine areas 4, 5, 6, and 7 West were closed to spot shrimping on Sep. 15. The closure is intended to protect female shrimp during their egg-bearing period.

When people think of the Humane Society, they tend to picture dogs or cats. Many are surprised that a wide variety of rabbits are also available, all of which make excellent house pets. Bunnies, like people, tend to be packed full of personality, ranging from mellow and happy-go-lucky to giving the Energizer Bunny a run for its money. Featured Pet Snow is of the first category, friendly and as easy going as they come. As her name suggests, her coat mimics crystalline water ice, dark gray almost charcoal in some places and white streaked in others. Also like snow, the shorthaired rabbit likes to hop to and fro, almost dancer-like in her lightness of feet. Meet Snow and our other cast of characters today. All buns are $15 during the month of September. Her reference number is A499855. For more information on Snow or any other pets at the Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County, call 253-383-2733 or visit them at 2608 Center St., Tacoma.
